iPhone 16 rumored to revert to vertical camera layout like iPhone 12

Apple is rumored to be bringing back the vertical camera layout last seen on the iPhone 12 with the iPhone 16 next year, according to jailbreaker and researcher @URedditor on Twitter, who suggests that the iPhone 15 will continue to feature the same diagonal camera layout as that seen with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14.

According to the rumor, the change in layout will make the device instantly recognizable as the latest model, with the vertical camera layout likely also featuring on the larger iPhone 16 Plus.

Apple isn’t expected to unveil the iPhone 16 until fall next year, so there is a good chance plans and design tweaks could change before then, although according to the report, an iPhone 16 with the new camera layout is currently in testing.

We’re yet to know much else about the iPhone 16 series given that Apple’s next generation iPhone, the iPhone 15, is yet to be announced.
